Yea, i need something to do thats not boring enough to cast me into sleep... and i thought of this... well been awhile since i last wrote anyway... lol
So, whats up? Well, world cup finished, not exactly the way i wished it be, all due to the fact that overall i lost some money, but i guess thats life, u gain some u lose some... although im not sure if i gained anything... Cos nothing interesting happened after the first week of temp job... which is quite sad, but well, im used to this rotten luck anyway...
Internship started, and off goes Andrew and Christopher to China for their work and study programme, -1 Mahjong kaki ... and our poker chips are in Andrew's house... damn... We gotta need some activities in the weekend to occupy ourselves! so at least i dont think too much...
New semester, new acadamic year... New wallet and phone for me... need a new something else... Anyway, got myself the Samsung Galaxy S that was under wishlist... Andriod 2.1 Eclairs, not all that intuitive, hopefully something refreshing when froyo update comes out later this year... The super amoled screen awed me, so did its HD video recording capabilities... processing power and graphics was orgasmic, its churning 3d games like a PSP with very decent graphics and in very playable fps... IDK about 3G data reception is it supposed to be so unstable, or is it just me... and my chinese song titles dont display properly on the music player.. crap.. but thats the only complains i have thus far, other than unlucky me dropping it on the first day, fk...
Ok, just to vent my frustration by a little, what the f*** is wrong with this year's world cup man... Disappointments falling like raindrops... strongholds getting trashed, totally unexpectedly... Yea, its with Argentina crashing into a 0 4 defeat against Germany in the quarters... and of course on top of Brazil getting wiped off by Netherlands the day before... Mixed feeling, on whether i should be sad or angry that they are putting up such a weak performance, kinda disappointed, the footballer of the year Lionel Messi exited this world cup without any goals as Argentina failed today, similarly for Gonzalo Higuain who scored a hattrick against S.Korea who couldnt really pull off nice plays today... And so did Carlos Tevez, well Di Maria did had a clean shot at some point but it went wide... And of course Sergio Romero, well maybe he tried his best but i'd really say, wtf is he doing... man, he has to have more focus i guess, he's always a tad slow in reacting... So much for my faith in the Argentineans to be able to lift the World Cup for the 3rd time this year, it fell with a thud... pilling up my frustration level that i had to whine for abit... Maybe partially due to the fact that i lost some bets due to that... but crap, all the favorite teams on my support list kinda crash landed unexpectedly somehow, so what is there left for me to watch...?
So, i've been told by someone, that i have a confident look, of myself being smart and all... A nice way to put it... In another words, kinda like i have this 'Don't bug me, idiot...' look or the 'Touch me, and you're dead...' look to strangers, which i very much agree to...
I dont know if its just me, but when i am not talking, thoughts and matters actually still run through my mind at lightspeed, which is what makes me appear to be staring at space, or giving a death stare and turning away without paying much additional attention... less when i see people i know, it kinda sends a signal to short-circuit those deep thoughts, so i give a smile or wave or some kinda gesture...
I guess i should really find some way to curb myself of all these deep thoughts so i don't appear so unapproachable... Its not like these thoughts would spur life changing inventions or such, i guess...
So much for the impression i give, now to comment on impressions others gave me...
I have to say this, i just hate people who talk like they know everything, or rather tries to let people know that they know everything while assuming the others don't know a thing... Being humble is a virtue, i sure hope i don't give others an impression which i myself hates... which i reckon i won't... Cause in the end, i still tend to keep everything within myself, locked away, in solitude...
What good are Jacks when there are Kings and Aces..
As much as i love to whine about life, still, i have heaps of thoughts running ever through my mind which couldnt really be expressed much by words...
So, whats with the title...
I've always think of myself as, kinda fair in various aspects..
like fairly smart, but aint anywhere near a genius...
im in shape and fit, but i aint fit enough to net gold awards in fitness...
am doing quite well in sch, not well enough to shine...
clearly presentable, tho nowhere attractive enough to be called very handsome...
hardworking, but only periodically when theres a need...
etc... etc...
So what good is it, if you are nowhere here nor there in everything, without some unique attribute... What and how long does it take, for you to have what you want to have, be with who you want to be, do what you want to do, and do it when u want to, to get out of this irritating eternal rat race, with you being a Jack...
As much as i believe in my usual saying, 人定胜天.... and only believing in the science behind everything, which much of, if not all are discovered by man(humans..) , life itself seems to strongly disprove of my thinking, being glad to show me, that science is not everything, that 'definite' is a crap word, and 1 + 1 doesnt always ends up with the same answer, when applied to different cases...
Well, thats with regards to the things i've stumbled upon since i got into my new temp workplace for my part-time job this holiday... So.. Wassup? Right, initial training and assessment for the job was nothing much to speak of, it was only until the day i was scheduled for on-job training, that something(someone) came popping out and totally changed my initial percept of this job as a boring-but-just-do-for-extra-pocket-money-job ...
So, what(who) ..?
Well, people who know me well enough, would generally know i have dumb luck (maybe just in games...but... well idk..) who would've though somehow, because of some technical issues with systems in the office that day, i got assigned another lass as my OJT(on-job training) buddy...
Ahhh, so its her...?
Kinda like, no ... that was just to explain how I, who was supposed to be sitting in the first row of computers as an OJT trainee, got pushed to another girl in the last row... Which is where i came across someone, who really caught my attention...
Ok, so is this it, or do I have more to say...?
Yea, no doubt, this is the someone I'm gonna talk about for the rest of the parts... Well, not like i was looking throughout my OJT session, in fact i was shifted to the front after awhile, so just a glance or 2... but she was cute enough to catch my attention...
Ohh, so what did i do...?
Hmm, finished my OJT and got myself marked as ready to do my job alone, and headed home... Yea i didn't do anything.. Why else would i be deeming fate as a funny thing in my title if its me that has done something on my own accord... Duh...
Ok, yearning for more...
That was just the prelude, the story is just starting... So, nothing much happened for the next week, been on another job at PC show 2010, until the week after, i was scheduled a monday morning shift.. crap...
Reluctant and lethargic to go for work that morning after a tiring last day at PC show, i dragged myself to office... Well, if you have followed through and still remember the title, you would've guessed right, i saw her. Not that the chances are once in a million, but i'd consider it cool for her being 1 of the 20odd people scheduled to be at main branch out of a pool of over 300, to be on 1 of 3 shifts with which i was also scheduled(Yea work your brain, do the math~!) This time we're on the same row, so i was able to steal glances every now and then...
Now, I'd reckon you made some move...
Remember the title... And yes i didn't do anything... not like there were much chances to strike a conversation or sort. Sure enough shift ends at the same time, but she kinda vanished before i even left my seat, i guess thats normal, everyone wants to go home (rather, get out of the office) fast. Well thats the end of day 1 of work... Comes day 2...
Hates... was raining when i reached Dhoby MRT, had to go through the rain, good thing i had my jacket in the bag, so i kinda shielded myself from the rain with it... through to the bend into shelter under SOTA (School of the Arts) someone came dashing across, half drenched that is... Hmm, i would've offered a shelter for the remaining uncovered path to POMO if i had an umbrella, but a jacket? Nah, thats just lame... Now i forgot, did i mention who that was? If i didn't, well follow the title... k? And so to lift lobby with a buncha other ppl, on the same lift up to office... Thats about all for day 2...
What? That suck, and you haven't did anything?
Precisely, I'm rather in passive all these while... But well, not the point... Comes day 3, raining in morning as usual, too heavy so i had to bring an umbrella... kinda reached office on the dot, so everyone was already seated in their assigned seat... So i walked over to sign my timesheet and see where i was assigned to... What else, first row as usual, just different people beside me. Who? Title explains it all... I was like, woa, how is it i get assigned to seat right in between a girl whom i had a crush on and another of her friend.. this is a joke...
Well, that aside, so as usual girls loves to chat and gossip, and what else could i do but to get influenced and join the chattering after awhile, with which we were complained to be chatting too loudly for a couple of times by the supervisor throughout the day... Our break time was the same, not knowing where the nice food are i kinda tagged along the 2 of them for lunch. Work as usual, chat as usual, after lunch... and the day ended as usual.. Got their names so i tried adding them in facebook...
... And?
Later that night i received a call, asking me to report at 10am rather than 8am as usual as they will be assigning me to another dept to help out in some other matters. That was totally uncool, but what could i say but to agree...
Lol, and i thought there was more...
Yea, that was kinda right, i didn't said that was the end of the story... So its 10am, and i was asked to reach 0950 so they could bring me to the new place... 0945 coming out of Dhoby MRT, up the escalator, right there i saw someone whom appears familiar from behind... Well, you know who! (If you dont, read the title again...) So i asked how is she there at like 0945, apparently, she got the call to reach at 10am also.. And she was saying its a relax job and there are 3 of us doing it... Err... Ok, now what are the odds..? And then for the day there we are at the pantry doing outgoing calls...
Sure i can go on to talk about how much of a coincidence things happened which somehow i got to know about what she told her friend about what she thought about me... But im tired... its a long post...
Not that i planned all these, but its happening... very much the way i wanted it.. thats creepy...
Now for the comparisons this sem with the goals set
301 : A -> A 302 : B -> A 303 : B+ -> A- 304 : A- -> A-
Ok, i should be really happy, everything's better than expected, at least vs whats expected before i took the paper... although some expectations did change after the whole exam, but well i guess im satisfied.
Met up with some of my fellow RBS buddies today, had dinner and went for some singing and took alot of damage today, guess im homebound for the next week... zzz
1 paper yesterday, which was fairly easy, 2 more on thursday, hopefully they would be equally simple... Still not quite prepared for the friday paper IMO, and totally forgotten about the last paper on 4th May, which is software engineering 2 ... crappp...
Been so lazy to get on here for over 2 months, partially being occupied by the development of the game linked below, in reality more like spending too much time on a stupid MMO which i had been playing, thankfully i quitted...
Now what, days without games are gonna get really boring, but well, i've made up my mind and im gonna get myself a music keyboard and pick up piano, by myself... With various kinds of help online of course...
Exams are like in 2 days for me, and what not, this time round, i've been spending almost the whole semester playing the dumb MMO, only to realize it being dumb to start mugging a week before... hopefully i can still make some A's with all these last minute efforts... Its good to not aim too high, so the results wont be disappointing, somewhat like me setting targets just to keep my GPA there previously, and im gona do the same... Say
301 : A 302 : B 303 : B+ 304 : A-
would net me 4.25, just nice for me to keep my points fair... alright lets do this..
Now, the results are out for the semester, lets see how i did with respect to my expectations set..
CSC184 - B+ -> B CSC279 - A- -> A- CSC207 - B+ -> A- CSC206 - A- -> A CSC205 - B -> A
Oow, i practically jumped when i saw my results, most were over what i've expected for the sem, with the exception of 184, which its exams appeared to be manageable, but no1 seems to hav gotten an A- as far as i know..
Well, been thinking if i should post this but i guess i'll just do it..
Anyway, so wads fate..? Fate, calls for an enactment to happen no matter how minute the chance might be perceived.. And that sometimes, is really screwed up.. As it once again, placed the out-of-reach locked candy box right beside me...
So, there's this 'lovely lady' in accounting class, whom i've always talked about to my friends, well but she seems to be quite repulsive to me.. Hmm.? Maybe shes in a relation and it occurred to her that i have ulterior motives, but hey, i just wanna make friends, is that so difficult..? -.- well im not mentioning names... Whilst in the midst of mugging for our ever so feared of exams, we would always have random thoughts running about and comments being made, and just so there's this 1 i passed, that i would be so motivated, and definite on getting an 'S' for Accounting ('S' is for satisfactory if you have opted for that module to be S/U) if this girl is sat next to me in the exams (Owing to the fact that her name begins with 'S' ...). Well, it was random, and that sentence held no expectations...
And 25 NOV(Lol, thx for the correction ar chunhuat) 2009, this day has come, that i need to battle and conquer the fearful MB101 exam, strolling into the exam hall looking for my seat, 0286, it wasn't long before i find it... And yes, despite the odds of few hundreds of examinees, there she was, right beside my seat... If this is fate telling me, 'Congratulations, u are going to pass your exams and get an 'S'.', i thank it... But no, i choose to think otherwise, it is fate, ever so cruel, that again set the elusive locked candy box right next to me within reach, tormenting me knowing i'm craving and don't have the key...
Ok, am in AMK library mugging now, and qing yan just signed up for his new mobile plan with a new phone costing $29 after trade in at some singtel authorized dealer here in AMK... Just as he was spending like close to 45mins of our time deciding which phone to get, and finally made up his mind, the staff serving was kinda like not sure of the procedures, and could only keep smiling to us, waiting for her other collegue to come back from smoking to get it done... So i casually passed a remark that she is so cute, and MIND YOU, u will agree... (well, applies to a certain extend on the looks anyway..)
Ok so finally, the guy came back from his smoke break, and had the stuff done and we're off... So like we're 10 steps out of the shop, our mr qing yan realised he hadnt collect back his IC/Matric card... so he went back to get them... ok, hiccup 1, how cute, they dont return the cards after they're done with the scanning, verifying etc... Ok, then we're back in library and after awhile, qy decided to switch to his new SIM card, and immediately theres a call, guess what..? its from the handphone shop... And did i mention about any payment just now..? no... yea, we got the phone out and happily went back to take the IC/Matric card and out again, without them realising that WE HAVEN PAY... how cute... lol So our paranoid qy ran back to the shop at once... and minutes later, i saw this wallet on the window grill... i was like, ok... who's is that... lol... we have people selling handphones without collecting money, and we have people paying for handphone without bringing his wallet... thats something new...
